The 'Stewart J Cort' was built to be the biggest tanker trading on the Great Lakes route between Canada and the United States. It was constructed as forward and aft sections which were then sailed to another shipyard where the 18 container sections were added, one section at a time. The original two sections were only 185ft long while the finished vessel was 1,000ft.
